Once the intruder had left,Wolf looked at his sleeping wife and the slight bump on her head. Walking to the medicine cabinet,he took out a first aid box and tenderly applied an ointment on her forehead. She mumbled something in her sleep and held his wrist tightly. Wolf tried to take it back but she wouldn't leave him and only brought his hand to her and hugged him tighter. Touched and happy at her clinging,he pushed back a few hair that covered her forehead and sat down on the floor. He placed his own head near hers and closed his eyes,letting her clutch his hand in her arms. Early in the next morning,Wolf opened his eyes and was greeted by his wife staring at him closely with widened eyes. He blinked at her,feeling a bit of pain in the swollen eye but before he could say something,she pointed at him and then poked a finger at his nose...pressing it firmly like a button,causing it to frown. But she was not satisfied with that so she then touched his har and pulled harshly causing him to protest,"Ouch.."

He pried her fingers away from his head lest she pull all his hair out and once again tried to speak..in vain..Because his little shout of pain had alerted Xie Eun he was indeed real. With a small scream,she launched herself into his arms causing him to lose his balance and the two of them to fall on the floor. Thankfully he was already on the ground otherwise,that would have caused a serious injury..

Laying her head on his chest,Xie Eun clutched at him desperately as if they her been away from each other for years. Her warmth seeped into Yu Seok who hugged her back as tightly as she hugged him..Seeing that he was really here,she gave a big grin,pulled his cheeks before smacking a kiss on each and then put her head back down on his whining,"Yu Seok!!I missed you so much..."

The two people lay there quietly for a while..hugging each other and cherishing each other's presence in their hearts.

It was only after a while that she thought of something. Her head shot up and she narrowed her eyes before looking at him intently.."Who hit you?"

She had only noticed his eyes in passing when she had launched herself at him and thus not realized the bruise that was there..Just as she was getting ready to go hit the person who would raise a hand to her husband,a memory struck her..of her attacking a figure in the dark..."Oh!!Ohh! hubby!I am really sorry that I hit you last night!I was on medication and actually thought that you were a burglar.I am so sorry..By the way,how are you back so early?Weren't you going to be gone or a week?Of course it is not to say that I am not happy that you are back but..why are you not saying anything?Did I hurt you too much?

Yu Seok kept staring at her and Xie Eun finally trailed off that she was not even allowing him to get in a word edgewise. How was he going to answer? Seeing that she had finally stopped for a breather,he simply captured her lips and rolled over so that he now lay on top of her and kissed her deeply...Their tongues entwined and their hands clutched at each other..It was only after a while that the two people came up for air and leaned against each other. Yu Seok ran a finger against her cheek and answered,"You did not do this..And I can see that you too are hurt."

Xie Eun wondered if she was still suffering from concussion as she did not seem to understand what he was saying.She was only aware of their closeness and nothing much so she only nodded and touched his wound tenderly before slowly placing her lips there softly. She then placed soft kisses all over his face. She noticed the tired lines on his face and felt guilty so she pushed him away a bit,forcing him to stand up..And unlike his usual self,he let her go this time..He must be really tired,Xie Eun thought to herself.Otherwise Yu Seok would never let her escape so easily..She caressed his head and the frown lines there eased,"Are you in pain?"He had travelled so much and then slept the night on the floor..She decided that everything else could wait and dragged him to his bedroom and was even more worried when he did not try to coax her into bed with him..She sat down on the bed,pulled him and made him lie with his head on her lap and started to massage his head slowly.

Wolf closed his eyes as her soft hands stroked his and felt himself calm down. He had been avoiding thinking about last night and focused all his thoughts on his wife to get through the night but even then,those nightmares had lingered in the periphery of his dreams. For the first time in his life he felt tired to his bones. His self control at this point was lowest and he felt shamed that he had almost wanted to force Xie Eun just now when she was under him just to reassure himself. Finally,under her soft caresses,Wolf fell into a deep tired sleep. Xie Eun looked at the face and wondered once again who had dared to punch him.She would have to find out soon..
